This tutorial out of all the ones I've watched have actually helped me understand the "coloring" methods a bit more. I couldn't for the life of me make a good saw stab for Convolver but I didn't think to spread the voices out like, or to use a pentatonic scale. Thanks for that, subbed
Another method we and our friend Teksoma figured out: You can get a sound to colorize itself by using Vital's harmonic unison mode, playing chords with the sound and then throwing a vocodex on there with the input and output being the same channel (the sound you're colorizing). This saves a pretty decent amount of CPU and is very much passable, although a bit hard to get working if you don't know what you're doing. We recommend adding a keytracked comb or phaser filter and an equalizer in the effects section to add movement. Otherwise go ham.
Amazing tutorial! Information-dense, no bullshit, to the point. Love it. For Ableton users: the built-in Resonators plugin can do this, too. Set resonator I to some root note and resonators II, III, IV, V to +5, +10, +15, +19 (minor pentatonic intervals), respectively. Tweak decay, color and dry/wet.
oh my god... i was waiting for a tutorial like this for so long, before watching this i didn't even know that this genre that i loved soo much was called color bass thank you soOO much
Good stuff. I found that the resonator technique sounded the best for me. I tried the vocodex method as well but found the sounds a bit too rich for my taste. My project was to "color" my mainly 2010-2013 era Dubstep sound designs and I made the resonator "flavor" them subtly, which was pretty succesful when considering my humble 2017-2024 of producing experience. Welp, there exists nonetheless a finished project made in 3 days thanks to you! Now, to attempt 2014-2015 drumstep...
This is pretty good, but i feel like it’s more FL oriented and not as universal. With my experiences you could’ve talked more about how resonators worked more and used some other examples like Kilohearts resonator, Pitchmap, or spectral processing. Anyway you did a great job of explaining a few things like convolution. Have fun producing!
@@LoomaMusic i dont like FL and im too poor for ableton, so im kinda in the dark. morph and pitchmap seem to be the way to go for me, which sucks since they are super expensive.
@@LoomaMusic I don't blame you for this, you shouldn't be expected to know how Ableton works especially since doing it like this requires M4L which some Ableton people don't even know a lot about
I tried to use Rez 3 in FL before I realized there was a fantastic Patcher patch in FL, but it would not accept more than 1 midi note at a time for midi input when I used it (so no chords), and it also crashed my FL studio very frequently. Can't say for other DAWs and Rez 3, but FL Studio's resonator in Patcher is the way to go.
@@xvndex dude I actually found that a lot of the drums slapping comes from two different things. 1) compressing/saturating/limiting your drums correctly in the beginning and then 2) (the big one) gain staging, mixing correctly, squashing all channels then limiting the absolute fuck out of your master works wonders
@@illford you're right. As I continue producing and learning, I'm finding that it's also about balancing the frequencies in individual sounds and in the track overall. THEN squashing the fuck out of it haha

See you in alot of color bass tutorial video comment sections lol
@@brenn7754 We've made a reputation, we see
yo u should make a tutorial about this i wanna know more bout your skills
@@djbearz5299 we will Soon(TM) but we prefer not to advertise ourselves that well
plus we are
very socially awkward
@@stinkzsys4995 i feel u i am 2 tho i watched your delay color bass technique its no that bad imo, at the ending of the day u delivered what u had to

Better yet use bcResonControl to control the resonator with midi
the vocoder one sounds so good
Color bass makes me feel life, and this video made me feel respectful towards you, probably one of the best tutorials I've ever seen.
Thanks you so much, this is the first color bass tutorial I have have watched that actually explains how the signature sound is created!
Bro I CANNOT wait for your album to dro.
Also, damn pitchmap sounds too clean
oh my god... i was waiting for a tutorial like this for so long, before watching this i didn't even know that this genre that i loved soo much was called color bass thank you soOO much
This is so clear and useful thank you
Maaan, this was really useful!
Thanks!
voice crack counter
nice tutorial and nice voicecracks

Awesome tutorial! thank you
im glad this tutorial pop up on my "Recommendation"
fantastic works!luv it
awesome!! will try some of these out. been wanting to make some dank color bass
What the freak that bass hits hard
My fav is convolution reverb
here at 420 views, learned how to be colorful asf, +rep +sub sick tutorial

I mean in Ableton just use bcResonControl to route midi into the Resonator

Very useful, and clear ! Thank you so much 👌🏼
This is a lovely tutorial
Isn't it tho lol
Thank you so much, learnt a lot of new stuff.
Thank you for the tips🌈🌈🤗
This was so f..... helpfull!
I made my first colour bass track - its on my channel!
Yoooo thankyou so much! Earned a new sub!
Are you voice cracking on purpose lol
btw another great free resonator plugin for colour bass is rez 3.0
:))

This is incredible
You all are mean saying his voice cracked. . . He just colored it to bring out the higher harmonics 😂
@@complextwopointoh glad someone said this
Can’t believe I hadn’t taken the time to watch this yet 😂
Thanks for the video, it was incredibly helpful!
great video!
Can you show what you did in serum
cool tutorials! subscribed
Thank you
Thank you!! :D
Reminds me of Harmors prism effect and unison...
My guy is voice cracking so badd 😭😭
I love it bro
Tyy
Fruityconvolver is so op ... you can make sick pads with it too!
Thanks for the tutorial
what subgenre
any chance we could get a more in depth video on the vocodex method? I cant quite get it.
If the master clips, there are two options: either you're a noob and it destroys your track, or you are a master that uses this as tool
Thank you bro
youre legend
Pitchmap by FAR sounds the best tbh, but it’s SO expensive dam
I love these videos but i have a question. how do you make powerfull drums for edm
making them hit harder and where to get/make dubstep drums

Au5 has a good drum tutorial, Compression and Envelopes(pitch & amplitude) go a long way
@@jordanmartinez8652 to be fair you don't need to squash the master, I wouldn't do it in every circumstance
@@illford you're right. As I continue producing and learning, I'm finding that it's also about balancing the frequencies in individual sounds and in the track overall. THEN squashing the fuck out of it haha
NICE BRO!
te amo bro
MC Looma in tha hizzouse.
👀
lets GO.
Team vocoder:)
Out of all the methods... My fav is Vocodex method
3:37 ... what da heck is going on with his voice? ... 3:59 ... but really good tutorial!
0:32 Sorry but LOL heh, same man
Everyone just crack PITCHMAP and skip to part 5 lol
link?
it was intentional
a lot of voice cracks 💀
